I tried install jamvm from Debian which apparently is compatible with
Java. It creates a sym link:

debian:/usr/bin# ls -poa java
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root 22 Dec 10 09:27 java -> /etc/alternatives/java


When trying to run eclipse I get 2 messages:

(1)
The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its 
companion startup.jar file (in the same directory as the executable).

(2)

JVM terminated. Exit code=13
/usr/bin/java
-cp /home/chris/eclipse/eclipsetrader/./startup.jar
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-showsplash /home/chris/eclipse/eclipsetrader/./eclipse -showsplash 600
-exitdata /home/chris/eclipse/eclipsetrader/./eclipse -exitdata a8006
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-cp /home/chris/eclipse/eclipsetrader/./startup.jar
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

Any idea how to fix this?
Should I use Suns VM still?

thanks,

Chris
